Tips on Where to Stay in Mexico City

Choosing from all of the hotels in Mexico City can be a daunting task. Hopefully, I can make your job of just enjoying the city a little easier. In this guide, I will look at all the choice places to stay the night. Though Mexico City is enormous, most of the hotels are clustered into a few areas. One that holds a large percentage of the hotels is Colonia Polanco. You will discover many of the familiar corporate brands such as the Hilton hotel. In the shopping district Zona Rosa, you can also find some hotels. These tend to have restaurants and shops lining the streets around them. Business travelers often book most major hotels in Mexico Cities during the week so you will be hard pressed to find one. However, finding one during the weekends is easier as most businesspeople will want to be home for the weekend. I will separate this tutorial into zones.

1. Centro Historico features a wide selection of hotels.

Holiday Inn Zolaco. This hotel has premiere access to museums, restaurants , and historical hotspots due to its impeccable location. However, you may not spend much time at the hotel or eating the food because it is on par with a typical Holiday Inn. You will have access to Wi-Fi, room service, 2 resturants, bar, and gym.

Sheraton Centro Historico. The Sheraton resembles a vacation home. It is complete with a stocked in-room kitchen and is about as good in terms of location as the Holiday Inn. However, in order to access the gym and Wi-Fi, you will need to pay an additional fee. This hotel has 3 restaurants, bar, pool, gym, spa, and even concierge service.
